Eric Burns thinks newspapers and all-news cable channels can more fully cover the Enron story. "The former can run articles with an indefinite number of column inches; the latter can run interviews with experts that take up as much time as required," writes Burns.

I'll give the edge to newspapers. All-news channels are dependent on the talking heads acting like testosterone-drenched rams. Good tv for them is putting four people on one screen, and having them react to what the others are saying. Lengthy explanation, not yapping is required to understand what happen with Enron. Printed pages fit the bill better.
